This is really neat. 👍

Bandit actually got dumped some years ago and is fully playable too (though obviously unfinished in certain aspects due to being a proto), it's a very interesting release, coproduced by Data East and Incredible Technologies.

Also it has an excellent game over screen.

Yeah... it's in MAME. Here's the ADB entry: http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=bandit&search_id=1

Wow! When we made this episode it wasn't available. This is great news!

Bandit is at Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield Illinois! Just remember:

Galloping Ghost is SO GOOD - I need to visit again~

I seriously need to go to that arcade. 🤣

wescottatticas.bsky.social•95 days ago

Agreed. It's the greatest arcade on the planet.

I noticed this certainly; I just figured it was a bunch of leftover parts and some kind of mockup screen.

It's always a bit more complicated, isn't it?

scrollboss.bsky.social•94 days ago

That's what I always though, but it still stood out knowing how many other real games were in there.

That's so cool! I remember this scene for helping me remember an arcade game I played as a kid but couldn't remember as an adult (Midnight Resistance).
